Come not in the path of the ungodly1 ⟨image 84⟩and walk not in the way of the wicked. Eschew it, and go not therein, depart aside, and pass over by it. For they cannot sleep except they have first done some mischief. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of robbery. The path of the righteous shineth as the light, and is ever brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. But the way of the ungodly is as y• darkness wherein men fall or they be aware.

The path of the righteous shineth as the light, and is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect day. But the way of the vngodly is as y• darknes wherin men fall or they be aware.
